Capstone Courses 2019-20

To use a course to meet your Essential Studies (ES) requirements , it must be on the approved list in the semester you take it . This is important because the curriculum may change. A course that was on the approved list in the past may have been modified to meet a different ES requirement or it could have been dropped.

ES Capstone courses are taken at the end of your undergraduate program (within 3 semesters of graduation) and must be completed at UND.
